4x4parts.com has a bumper that works for the 05 Pathfinder, also I believe that the Shrockworks Frontier front bumper will work for the R51 Pathy.
Not sure who makes that, price is reasonable, I just don't like the light "hoops", they are too square and look out of place for the R51 Pathys.

I have an 07 with the Rancho "Quick" lift. No way it is a full 2.5". I went with the front and rear quick lift, and 265/70/17s on 17x8 rims. I had to do some minor trimming up front, and remove the front mud flaps. I have also installed a shrockworks oil pan/filter skid plate (saved my a$$ already), and shrockworks sliders. The sliders I had to bolt and weld on because some of the holes didn't line up, but they are solid. The rear Rancho shocks didn't work well for me. The bushings in the shock eye mounts elongated after 1 week, and the shocks were rattling around terrible. I replaced them with the Old Man Emu shocks which fit perfect (also evidence the Rancho doesn't lift that high).
I am considering switching out the Rancho in front to OME with the hd coils, as I'd like to mount a winch and bull bar when I find a suitable setup. I like the ARB, but can't find much info on it stateside, I'd be cool to get it color matched without the "hoops". I'd also like to find a suitable rear bumper to round out the package, but looks like they aren't available yet...

I have the shrockworks sliders....2 supports. They are great, really sturdy. The only thing is, the rear holes did not match, and the location of the rear support is tight, so I couldn't get a drill in there. I managed to get one hole to work, and welded a few places just to be safe. So far, so good. I also have their skid plate under the oil pan, which fits well. I only had to grind down a small section of one flange on the skid plate, and used my own hardware to make it fit better. But its clear their stuff is not tailor made for the Pathfinder. I don't know why nobody makes stuff for the Pathy, their are alot of them out there.
My experience with the other shrock stuff I have has steered me away from their bumper, even though I like how it looks. I don't want something up front that doesn't fit well. Sliders and skidplates are easy enough to modify if necessary.
I am leaning towards the arb bullbar because of their reputation, and it would be cool to get it color coded. For a few hundred more, it may be worth it.
